Kyogo seems to have had few opportunities to be interviewed before the game, but his team-mates and manager have high expectations for him.

Moriyasu: “I think Kyogo’s confidence is getting stronger and stronger by continuing to score goals himself. As his teammates of Japanese national team learned about the results he achieved at Celtic this season, they are trying to bring out Kyogo’s strengths in training and games.”

Junya Ito: “I’ve known Kyogo since I was college student, and we even played together. I want to send him good pass so that he can score goals.”
In addition, Daichi Kamada, who plays as IH the same as Reo, highly evaluated Reo’s performance.
